Korm Succeeds
Admiral Mineichl Koga, for
mer commander of the Japanese
fleet ln Chinese waters, was
named Yamamoto's successor and
already is in command, the radio
said. -
Broadcasts on Yamamoto's death
were recorded by the Associated
Press and the federal communica
tions commission.
A Tokyo radio announcer, in a
voice which broke with emotion,
gave the news to the Japanese
people with these words from the
official Japanese announcement:
"An imperial headquarters com
munique issued on May 21 at 3
p. m. (Japan time) Admiral
Isoroku Yamamoto, commander in
chief of the combined fleet, while
directing general strategy on the
front line ln April of this year,
engaged in combat with the enemy
and met a gallant death on a war-
plane." A subsequent broadcast
set the locale of his death in the
south.
Presumably the "very front lines
on the south' referred to the
waters north of Australia, in the
New Guinea or Solomon islands
area where there have been fre
quent naval encounters.
Bated United States
Yamamoto was possessed of a
consuming hatred of the United
States, acquired in his youth when
nis lather told him of the "bar
barians" who had "come in their
Black ships, broken down the
doors of Japan, threatened the
son of heaven, trampled upon an
cient customs, demanded indem
nities . . ."
His military trainlne started at
me age or six, but he later switch.
ed to the navy because, he said he
wanted to "return Commodore
Perry's visit"
A Domei dispatch broadcast by
me xoKyo radio after Pearl Har
bor quoted him as writing: "Any
time war breaks out between
Japan and the United States, :
shall not be content merely to cap
ture Guam and the Philippines
and occupy Hawaii and San
Francisco. I am looking forward
to dictating peace to the United
States in the White House t
Washington."- Yamamoto spoke
angusn uuenuy.
Yamamoto, who was 89, had
served as commander-in-chief of
the combined fleet since Aug. 30,
xib previously naa served as
vice minister of naval affairs and
as chief of general staff for the
naval air force.
Yamamoto was graduated from
the Japanese naval academv in
1904, Just in time to fight ln the
nussian-Japanese war as an en
sign. He lost two fingers of his
left hand while serving aboard Ad
miral Togo's flagship in the battle
of Tsushima.
It was Yamamoto who planned
the treacherous attack on Pearl
Harbor, which set off the Pacific
war, and Japanese navy minister
Shigetaro Shimaoa paid tribute to
thia trickery today as an operation

Gleemen Hit
'New High' At

By MARIAN LOWRY .
Eugeneans have been listening
to and applauding their Gleemen
through 33 home concerts, always
expecting and always hearing a
high standard of entertainment
and music, but Thursday evening's
event seemed to hit a very spe
clal high for pleasing performances.
The evening, was a pleasant
diversion from most the season
has brought so far. As the crowd
assembled one could hear snatches
of conversation about this plant
and that in the victory garden, or
comment on the latest bulletin
from the war news. Once the

28,000 Detroit
Auto Workers
Out on Strike
DETROIT, May !1. (U.B The
regional war labor board ordered
28,000 striking Chrysler Corp. em
ployes to return to work immed
iately today am la increasing Indi
cations that a breach la Imminent
among top-ranking officials of the
powet-ful United Automobile
Workers (CIO).
DETROIT, May 21. (U.B-Leo
La Motte, director of the Chrysler
division of the United Automobile
Workers (CIO), charged today that
current strikes in Detroit war in
dustries are being "fomented by
high officials of the UAW because
of political reasons."
Almost as La Motte issued his
statement, company officials an
nounced closing down ot a sixth
Chrysler plant the De Soto
bomber factory when 4,000 em
ployes Joined 24,000 other strikers
in Detroit's worst labor stoppage
since Pearl Harbor.
Five other planvs of the Chrys
ler Corp. and the Kelsey, Hayes
Wheel Co., and a plant of the Kay
Dav Piston Corp.. all engaged in
war production, were affected by
the flurry of stoppages.
A Chrysler spokesman said con
tinuance of the strikes may close
the corporation's tank arsenal Sat
urday and jeopardize the jobs of
85,000 employes in 24 other tnrys
ler war plants.
WLB Intervenes
The war labor board telegraph
ed all local union presidents, de
claring "the national interest de
mands that the striking employes
return to work immediately."
Meanwhile, federal and state
conciliators and representatives of
the army branches whose supplies
were curtailed by the strmes con
ferred with company and union
officials, hoping to obtain quick
restoration of production.
A Chrysler spokesman describ
ed the stoppages as "plain sabo
taae." althoush President R. J.
Thomas and other ranking UAW-
CIO officials insisted they were
not authorized' by the internation
al union.
Lester Downie, an official of the
Kelsey, Hayes Co., said the walk
outs at his plants were "well plan
ned."
"This talk about it being a wild
cat strike is the bunk," he said.
"They didn't even approach us to
neeotiate any grievances before
walking out."
A spokesman for Chrysler Corp,
said 5,000 night shift workers at
the firm's Dodge plant and 4,000
at the Jefferson and xercnevai
plants responded to broadcast
warnings from UAW-operated
sound trucks not to enter the fac
tories.
"The men Involved in the
strikes." he charged, "have legiti
mate and serious grievances, but I
believe that they and their leaders
are making a mistake by seeking
to adjust these grievances through
strikes."
At the same time Thomas al
leeed the managements "are com.
pletely responsible for the unrest
which has led to today's walkouts.
The strike had the backing of
Earl Reynolds, Dodge local prest
dent, who said he ordered the
walkout to protest an alleged
company policy of hiring new
workers at pay higher than that
given workers with seniority.
A Chrysler spokesman "em
phatically denied" that this was
true and termed the series of
strikes "plain sabotage."

added to the medal, and the latest
V-mail letter from the flyer states:
"Received the distinguished fly
ing cross today. It's a nice medal
in the shape of a cross, with four
bladed propeller, made of gold."
Over the radio, the Hedricks
learned that their son's decoration
this time was given him for bring

been incapacitated.

Historic Lewis and Clark Rose Discovered Here
Treasured among the flowers at
the home of Mrs. E. L. Allison, is
a white single rose, which traces
its ancestry back to the time of the
Lewis and Clark expedition. The
rose is one of 23 original pioneer
roses brought to the Oregon coun
try in that period and through the
later years before Oregon became
a state.
The rose, a large single variety,
snow-white, with velvety foliage
uncommon for roses, is unusually
fragrant.
Mrs. Allison was given the plant
by Miss Mary Millard, beloved
Portland teacher, who, through
years of teaching and educational
leadership, became known as Port
lands "Grand Old Girl." Mrs.
Millard gave the planting to Mrs.
Allison in 1935 and told her the
story of the rose's early day ap
pearance in Oregon with the
Lewis and Clark expedition.
Mary Drain Albro, executive di
rector of the Pioneer Rose associ
ation, Portland, and others ln that
group have recognized the rose as
one of the 23 varieties of pioneer
Oregon roses. This particular
white rose was lost for many years,
and the association expressed its
delight to Mrs. Allison that it had
been found again. It is one ot the
old variety ot about 80 original
